All broke down, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
Far away like a radio
I was riding shotgun with the driver
The love is in the rounders
Come along with me to LA
Me and my bride on a Greyhound back
She took a piece out of me that I'll never get back
All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
Far away like a radio
Ghosts in a shot glass, and lonely all around
Can't help but catch a buzz when you come into this town
Darkness in a box man, you better send a scout
There's a door to keep you in, but none to let you out
All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
Far away like a radio
Head on my shoulder, mouth just catchin' flies
A stranger out of stories has just talked himself dry
Half of him will make it to LA by tomorrow
The rest of him will have to make it, beg, steal or borrow
One end of town laughin' at the other
They got ragin' home wreckers makin' welfare mothers
Street hosed down when the dawn breaks low
Shinin' like a mirror so the shadows won't show
All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
Far away like a radio
All the happy endings
That I've heard about,
Stories left unwritten,
We'll have to figure it out

Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
Far away like a radio
